I feel like this is the complete opposite end of the spectrum to Liz ‘The Blob is out to get me’ Truss’s mania.
Professing functional ignorance is a neutral factor given the role and how people come into it.
The big question is how effectively is she leaning on the council staff to be able to do her job as an executive
I’m often reminded decent people can exist in echo chambers and be manipulated into evil causes (such as the “reform” movement).
I know nothing of that Reform councillor; but in a moment of honesty she admitted a discomfort in voting for something she doesn’t understand. That level of honesty is far better than just following marching orders or making something up. Another councillor then started shouting her down – it’s not a good look.
There is nothing worse than leaders who fake knowledge they don’t have and make decisions with real implications without care.
Maybe she shouldn’t have run then???
The comments just casually giving her a pass, you’d get fired in a heart beat if you stood on a podium and did this at your job.
it’s ok duck, I suspect a few people already noticed.
The same people that refuse to attend induction meetings have no idea what they’re doing. Quelle surprise.
The most surprising thing about this is that she admitted it
How can you expect me to fly this plane when I don’t understand all these buttons!!
FFS – any other job you need to display basic skills relevant to the job at interview stage. Running for councillor should be the same, no matter the political persuasion, else you’re wasting tax payers money.
The people who we are told will GET THINGS DUN will do sod all except funnel money into the hands of the billionaire class. Being qualified or component is not a requirement for Reform.
I admire her balls. To publicly state that she doesn’t know what terms mean that google could have answered immediately.
On one hand she’s open and honest. Yet naive and not proactive on the other. She had plenty of time to research.
I’m not sure if I’m impressed or not.
Clearly she is over-qualified and will go far in the job.
Just read the standing orders…READ THEM AND I UNDERSTAND THEM!
How do you have time to stand to be a candidate but not to google what a standing order is or have someone explain the very basics of the constitution? I can understand being a bit unfamiliar with the details of a new job but that is ridiculous.
She the same one who posted a picture of herself outside the Palace of Westminster captioned “time to get to work” and had to be told by the comments that she’s not actually an MP?
It’s worth watching the video, Tanisha Bramwell gave a very strong response, “it’s your job to educate yourself”!
You know, I always knew that far-right politics was self-defeating, but I never thought I’d see them literally melt under their own “success”, resigning, firings and multiple MULTIPLE members either not knowing what their job is or feeling unfulfilled and bored.
Same with our council now in St Helens – Reform led, not a fucking clue what they are doing and now implementing policy advisors at 52K a year – just one over the 4 year term is 200k+. Where is that money coming from? SEND cuts, raised council tax, absolute load of fucking charlatans and wasters the lot of them
If they were honest they would resign, learn about the role in the opposition and try again next election.
No excuses really, council meetings are recorded and open to the public which is how we’re seeing this one
Anyone running for council has the opportunity to observe and learn
And yet reform voters are the first to cause the Greens of not knowing what they are doing. Oh the irony… lol
Hmmm so she’s upset that people who know how to do the job aren’t helping her learn the job she applied for and got.
If you go for any job anywhere you must be able to demonstrate strategy and understanding of the roll.
Even fast food and service jobs require this.
Getting elected and then being upset that you don’t know wtf you’re doing because you won via hate, division and populism is as hilarious as it is sad.
The UK’s governance used to be the envy of the world, many nations even modelled themselves on our civil service when it was a highly-professionalised and merit-based institution. Standards are falling and we seem content to see them drop because the vibes and optics look good, as plenty of comments seem to suggest. It’s no wonder we struggle to do much of anything when we’re literally lionising incompetence. And before that, we were tired of ‘experts’. And before that we decided that business experience alone was sufficient to run public infrastructure projects. She’s more right than she knows this councillor; we all really don’t know what we’re doing.
… and with such an aggrieved tone, as if she thinks everyone has played a mean trick on them. Fucking idiots.
I watched the video it’s so bad
Reformers are stuck in their feels and not reals
Classic fascist playbook. Gaslighting democratic processes and institutions.
Reform voters are all about unearned confidence over competence in their elected representatives, so I can only assume her saying this is actually positive. She’s “keeping it real” or smashing the UK swamp or something.
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
Reform are an absolute fucking joke.
Is she the one who thought they were standing as an MP?
